    Default Computer making weird noise

    It sounds like there's a buzz-saw in my computer, something is doing some high pitched hum. It's a laptop, btw.

    Sounds either like a buzz-saw or like some weird high-pitched alien bee swarm.

    Check your temps. It sounds like all fans on full.

    Agreed. Or at least pretty high.

    If they are too high, even with fans at full blast, go with a cooling mat. Keep your laptop on a desk if possible, and elevate the back end a little bit, so as to provide a bit of circulation.

    You can check the temps with HW monitor a freeware and you could also open the laptop and clean the dust etc to resolve heat issues.
